Supreme Court to pass interim order on rebel Congress MLAs

New Delhi, May 9 (IANS) The Supreme Court will pass an interim order at 4 p.m. on Monday on nine Congress MLAs, who were disqualified by the Uttarakhand assembly speaker, challenging a state high court order dismissing their plea against disqualification.

The rebel Congress MLAs urged the apex court to stay the operation of the Uttarakhand High Court order that came earlier on Monday.

They urged the Supreme Court to permit them to exercise their vote during the confidence vote being sought by ousted chief minister Harish Rawat on Tuesday.
